Happy Graduation . . . for Art Journal Journey Monthly and Challenge YOUrself!

 Hi everyone! It's time for the November challenge at Challenge YOUrself! 

Challenge YOUrself #143 runs from November 7th through December 4th at midnight:

I created a 12 x 12 mixed media scrapbook page for this challenge:

I loved making this page! I used a lot of patterned papers from my stash, because I like to use up what I already have. The background paper is from 49 and Market’s ‘Starlight Dreams’ collection, and the graduation embellishments are from Echo Park’s ‘Happy Graduation’ collection. But the best part about making this page about a favorite family memory is remembering Anne’s college graduation that took place in May this year. I used a favorite photo of Anne, Katie, me, and Aunt Karen, taken on her special day.

I am linking up my page to Art Journal Journey Monthly's challenge for November:

This month is being hosted by Wendy from Wendy's Art and Craft Journal.

Her theme is “A Moment in Time.” She says, “This can be interpreted in many ways, as long as it has something to do with time it will be fine.”

This scrapbook page holds a special place in my heart and AJJ’s theme inspired me to create it. I added a Kraft clock embellishment and the phrase “It’s time for a new adventure” to go along with Wendy's theme.

If you are interested in making a project for Wendy’s theme, visit Art Journal Journey Monthly to discover an exceptional group of friendly and accomplished artists from around the world.

I hope you have a creative November. I love that it’s the start of the holiday season. Enjoy every moment!
